Still respect the 70 year old especially if the person in question is your parent or grandparent. Old age comes with its own challenges. |

Bliss24: See lies Aged people tend to sometimes behave childish, it's common even you sef go dey reason like child when e reach A fool at 40 is a fool forever to me it's saying, what wisdom you can't get when you were young, is it when you start aging you will acquire it? Because men get maturity from 30s to 40s but you see from 60s downwards, they tend to act in a way you start questioning yourself if they are the one and from 70s down to 90s, forget am 90s downwards na to dey over pamper them 1 Like |

Coming125:Are you for real? That generation/age group was never ever good for anything. Not any better than anyone 18 to 50 today. Only a miniscule number of them were ever responsible. The result is the messed up country we have today. They messed up 9ja with corruption, yanshing their students, embezzling public funds. girlfriends all over town, you name any possible idiocy out there. You were just fooling yourself to expect anything else. Our culture of respecting age was based on old people being traditionally upright, honest and building society. Now most oldies hide under the toga of age to foment rubbish. Our challenge today is this: How do we the younger generations not end up being another idiotic bunch of goons like the bolded? 1 Like 1 Share |

Honestly,these days some of the so called old and matured men and women act very immature,wicked and cunning and in most cases I give u three chances,first I try to explain to u respectively,secondly I try to plead with u to see reasons with me and also let u know that I know all that u are trying to do then thirdly I will talk to an older person or same age with u to advice u.but if after all these u keep doing what u are doing then I will come at u with full force and at that point I don’t care ur age,title or whatever gave u the gray hair.I go clear ur doubts……..thanks respectively 🙃 |

I'm not even understanding the point of this post. If it is about how to handle an elder committing crimes or immoral acts then you treat him like any other adult person. Isn't he an adult? ... only children are treated differently because of immaturity. But.... with elders one has to consider their mental health ... dementia in particular. If not ... if what he is doing is criminal ... what would you do if he were 35?... do the same. 1 Like |

You don't learn to be dishonest and cunning at old age. If an elderly person is acting this way, it means they have always been like that from their youth. 1 Like |

Herkim:A lot of 70 year olds are stuck in their ways and won’t listen to you unless you do something drastic or different from the norm There are old fools with obsolete ideas and way of doing things that won’t take to polite correction. A lot of flaws in our culture that’s why incompetent unhealthy people rule today |

You pray for wisdom to handle them. Don't act rashly or angrily. Wisdom should guide you to the root of their behavior and how to handle it. You can also get a job if you don't have one to support them the best way you can. I post genuine jobs here regularly https:///184037139835240/ Avoid paying anyone for a job. All my jobs are free |

Herkim:Respect is reciprocal. If he has dishonored his old age then he is no longer deserving of honor. However for conscience sake and due to our tradition, handle with care lest people find you dishonorable. As one of the comments rightly advised, see if you can get another elder to talk to him and caution him. If it is a matter than involves escalation officially, religiously or to police station, you can also do the needful. Old age is an immunity badge only for those who respect their old age and respect others. |
